In the era of clout chasers and cancel culture, Twitter has become a modern-day battleground for celebs and socialites alike. YouTubers, in particular, have a notorious reputation for throwing shade and stirring pots in pathetic attempts to get their name on that #trending list. The latest drama-show saw supermodels, YouTubers, and boy-bands come head to head online. Supermodel, Gigi Hadid, came at Youtuber Jake Paul’s neck after he decided to post what he calls a ‘drunk tweet.’
On Saturday night, Paul and Hadid’s boyfriend, Zayn Malik of One Direction, crossed paths in Las Vegas. They were both in Vegas to watch the Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury II fight, and it seems that Paul left feeling slighted by Zayn.
Later that night, Paul sent out some harsh words to Zayn via Twitter.
“I almost had to confront Zane from One Direction because he’s a little guy with a bad attitude. He told me to go away for no reason when I was being nice to him. Zane, if you’re reading this, stop being so angry just because you went home alone to your big hotel room. Haha.”
Yikes! We’re assuming Jake Paul’s intentions of spelling Zayn’s name wrong was an attempt to stroke his ego. The post has since been deleted following the backlash.
Nonetheless, Gigi Hadid immediately fired back in her man’s defense.
“Lol, he’s with his real friends, not your embarrassing YouTube groupies. He’s a respectful king, and I’m with him, sweetie.” she wrote. “Unbothered by your irrelevant ugly ass. Go to bed …”
Jake Paul is arguably one of social media’s most annoying celebs, so for this, we thank you, Gigi.
Following Hadid’s clap back, Paul took to twitter not to apologize to Zayn but to let us know that alcohol makes him act like an idiot. It’s always alcohol’s fault, isn’t it, Jake?
“I need to stop using my phone when I’m drunk. I do stupid things.” he tweeted Sunday night. Drunk or not, Jake Paul’s YouTube channel is enough to tell us what kind of person he is.
Zayn has not commented on the beef. And, as the calm, cool, and collected type-of-guy we know him to be, we don’t expect him to mention it any time soon.
